Job Opportunity
Our Waste Water Recycling team has a great opportunity for you to join as our new Mechanical Maintenance Technician. The position offers an opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking team working on a variety of equipment and assets, where you will have the opportunity to embrace curiosity and develop new skills outside of your normal day-to-day activities.
Responsibilities
* Proactively and reactively maintain the mechanical assets onsite.
* Work with pumps, chemical dosing, gearboxes, high-pressure systems, gas systems, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, valves, motors, generators, drive belts, conveyors, and scrapers.

* Ensure all relevant training, including mechanical and maintenance training, is up to date.
You will be based at one of our main sewage treatment works depending on home location and will be provided with a vehicle for business use, laptop, safety clothing, and tools appropriate to the job. As part of your ongoing professional development, you will be required to upskill as a LV/HV SAP, which will come with an additional allowance on top of your basic salary.
So, if you care about the environment, are curious about how things work, and have the courage to challenge ways of working, we are absolutely certain you will be proud to work for Severn Trent.
What You'll Bring to the Role
* NVQ level 3 Mechanical qualification.
* A full UK driving licence.
* Experience working with process control systems and a working knowledge of industrial mechanical installation requirements and standards.
